Nick Price leads by one at the Senior Players Championship

Posted by Big G under Latest Golf News, Mens Pro Golf

51 year old former major winner Nick Price (pictured below) shot a bogey-free 66 for a 8-under three round total of 202 yesterday to take a one-shot lead over DA Weibring after three rounds of the Senior Players Championship, the final senior major of the year.

Price earned more than $20 million on the PGA Tour and won two Player of the Year awards, but he has yet to cash a winner’s cheque on the Champion’s Tour.

Eight players will enter the final round within four shots of the lead.

Weibring made five birdies in shooting a 66. Jeff Sluman (64) and Gene Jones (69) were at 6 under; Eduardo Romero (67) was alone at 5 under; and Jay Haas (69) and Fred Funk (72) were among four players at 4 under. Sluman’s score of 64 was so far the best round of the week.

Second-round leader Ben Crenshaw bogeyed two of the first three holes and finished with a 74 to fall well off the pace at 3 under.
